________________ IV] THE EXTINCT AGAMAS OF THE JAINAS 93 to the 2nd century A. D. If so, these cannot be looked upon as sections of the Puvvas composed by the Gañadharas. .. Ayārapāhuda, Kappapāhuda and Kammapayadipahuda-I have not come across a description pertaining to any one of these Pāhudas except that as stated in Vividhatīrthakalpa (p. 5) Bhadrabāhusvāmin extracted Satruñjayakalpa from Kalpaprābhrta, and Vajrasvamin and Pādalipta Sūri abridged it.. Jonipāhuda-In the com. (pp. 401 and 753) on Kappa it is said that this is a section of Puvva. Visehacunni throws greater light on it. There it is said that animate objects from ckendriyas to pañcendriyas can be generated by one who knows this Jonipāhuda, and Siddhasena Sūri had accordingly generated horses. The pertinent lines are: "ang aturfag gråfagifę gafas å stories fot, STEI fagðarefigo Far qat 1"--Jatnayuga (1, 3, p. 90) In the Visehacunni (XVIII, 469) we have:___"णिसीहमादियस्स च्छेदसुत्तस्स जो भत्थो आगतो सुतं वा मोकलामि वा पच्छित्तविहाणाणि मताणि वा जोणिपाटुडं वा गाहंतो अण्णत्थ गाहेति." In Hemacandra's com. (p. 750) on Visesão (v. 1775) it is said: "योनिविधाने च योनिप्रामृते विसदृशानेकद्रव्यसंयोगयोनयः सर्पसिंहादिप्राणिनो मणयो हेमादयश्च पदार्था नानारूपाः समुपलभ्यन्ते।" In Prabhāvakacaritra (Padaliptaprabandha, v. 115–127) we come across a narrative where it is said that Rudradeva Sūri was teaching Yoniprābhrta to his pupil when there came the portion dealing with the method of generating fish. A fisherman who was staying beside this place heard this conversation and carried on his profession accordingly. The Ācārya, later on, came to know about this and dissuaded the fisherman from generating fish. In this very narrative (v. 128 ) we come across a line where it is said that lions were generated. A photo-copy as well as the original Ms. of a work known as Jonipāhuda can be had at the Bhandarkar 0. R. Institute; but as this work is in a fragmentary condition and even several folios are not properly arranged, it is difficult to make out a head or 1 This act of generation is known as nirvartanādhikara.
